Imaging Used to Control the Esophagus Stenting

The subject matter of this paper concerns advanced techniques of procedures and imaging used in minimally invasive surgery and in nonoperable cases of the digestive tract tumor therapy. Examples of imaging the application of stents allowing for the performance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures practiced by the authors are presented. Stenting with self-expanding stents can be an effective minimally invasive technique in palliative treatment of advanced, inoperable cancers of esophagus. Numerous patients were successfully stented. Examples of imaging used to control the application of stents are presented.
